Woman blows herself up in central Tunis; nine wounded

 

TUNIS (REUTERS) – A 30-year old woman blew herself up in the centre of the Tunisian capital Tunis on Monday, wounding nine people including eight police in what the Interior Ministry called a “terrorist explosion”.

 

Witnesses described a blast on the central Habib Bourguiba avenue where hundreds of police later cordoned off an area near the capital’s landmark Municipal Theatre and the French embassy.

 

Shops were shut on the avenue, usually one of the busiest streets in the capital and site of protests that toppled long-serving leader Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali at the start of the 2011 “Arab Spring” of regional revolts.

 

In 2015, 21 people were killed during a hostage siege in its national museum, the Bardo in Tunis, and a gunman killed 38 people on a resort beach. The following year, militants tried to capture the town of Ben Guerdane near the Libyan border.

A Brief History of the Left’s Attempts to (Over-)Regulate the Internet

 

The relatively brief history of the Internet – is a quarter-century visual aide of how the Left looks to over-regulate things.

 

The Left always wants…more. They are the Oliver Twist of regulations.

 

So let’s not hand them the keys to DC next Tuesday, eh?

 

Simplistically but accurately speaking, the Internet was privatized in the 1990s. A Republican Congress wrote a telecommunications bill – basically leaving it regulation-free. Which Democrat President Bill Clinton signed into law.

 

So the baseline for regulation was – none. A concept that, of course, never sat well with the Left.

 

Once it became clear how incredible and incredibly huge the Internet could and would be – the Left started looking for ways to dig government’s hooks into it – so it could then begin reeling it in.

 

Because there was simply no way We the People should be allowed to have that much speech and economic freedom.

 

The overarching grab-bag power grab – was the very awful Network Neutrality. A phrase and concept coined by Marxist college professor – please pardon the redundancy – Tim Wu in 2003.

 

The Left then spent the next half-decade trying to get Congress to pass a law imposing Net Neutrality. That was a huge no-go – even after the Democrats took the majorities in 2006.

 

Then came the very unfortunate Barack Obama Administration. Which unilaterally imposed Net Neutrality in 2010 – which the courts dumped. So it imposed an even worse, more virulent strain of Net Neutrality in 2015 – which the ensuing Donald Trump Administration thankfully undid.

Dem Congressional Candidate Founded ‘Socialist,’ ‘Revolutionary,’ ‘Anti-Capitalist’ Bookstore

 

A Democratic congressional candidate in Washington founded a socialist, anticapitalist bookstore in the late 1970s.

 

Lisa Brown, who is running in Washington's Fifth Congressional District, founded Left Hand Book and Record Collective in 1979, according to documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

 

Articles of Incorporation filed with the Colorado secretary of state on May 17, 1979, reveal Lisa

Brown was a founder of the Left Hand Book and Record Collective for the purpose of "operating a

retail business engaged in selling books and records to the public."

 

The bookstore's Facebook page describes Left Hand as "Boulder's one-stop-shop for all socialist, resistance, revolutionary, radical, alternative, and anti-capitalist literature."

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s Advice for a World Plagued by Chaos and Victimhood

 

Although a decorated commander in the Russian army, Solzhenitsyn was imprisoned near the end of World War II for disparaging comments made privately about Joseph Stalin. His years in prison were hardly pleasant, but as Solzhenitsyn writes in The Gulag Archipelago, those years gave him striking insight into the reality of human nature:

 

“It was granted me to carry away from my prison years on my bent back, which nearly broke beneath its load, this essential experience: how a human being becomes evil and how good. In the intoxication of youthful successes I had felt myself to be infallible, and I was therefore cruel. In the surfeit of power I was a murderer, and an oppressor. In my most evil moments I was convinced that I was doing good, and I was well supplied with systematic arguments. And it was only when I lay there on rotting prison straw that I sensed within myself the first stirrings of good. Gradually it was disclosed to me that the line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either – but right through every human heart – and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained. And even in the best of all hearts, there remains … an unuprooted small corner of evil.

 

“Since then I have come to understand the truth of all the religions of the world: They struggle with the evil inside a human being (inside every human being). It is impossible to expel evil from the world in its entirety, but it is possible to constrict it within each person.”
